Here, I analysed two different music videos which fit in to the EDM genre. The videos I used were "Don't Let Me Down" by The Chainsmokers, which was a narrative/performance video, and "One (Your Name)" by Swedish House Mafia, which was a video which merged all three types.
What did I find?
Within both of the videos, I found that there were a range of similarities and differences.
Some similarities I found were:
- The idea of continuation at the end, and the use of quick cuts
- The recurring motion of dance in a solo
- The sense of confusion and eeriness
Some differences I considered were:
- The juxtaposition in the use of lighting (one video was much darker than the other)
- The overall atmosphere (shown by the use of location in one video in comparison to a set in the other)
- The pace of editing (even though both videos created some sort of tension)
Looking at two different videos will allow me to consider what ideas to develop in our own music video.
